will judit b playing ne time soon in future
Chucky favorite!
If Ivanchuk scores..
7/11 he will be 2790+ and probably world number 2
8/11 he will be 2800+ and probably world number 1.
He will be close to world number 1 even with 7.5/11- but I think Anand will keep a nose in front.
Go on Ivanchuk, play like in Mtel and become 2800+ and world number 1- you can do it!
Oh, come on; Magnus is there!
Even if you think that, Carslen only plays Ivanchuk one game.
Ivanchuk could win lose or draw that one game- but there are 10 other games too.
Magnus and Chucky are my 2 favorite players!!! I hope they both do well! 😀
